I might pre-order this.. looks quite good, I just hope there's no problems with the plastic ankles.

I almost broke off the left ankle of my Robot Junior because of how weak and thin the plastic was, but this is a bigger figure so the joints should be sturdier.

The thing is plastic, so yeah, there are many ways to fix the problem. Drill in and place a different ankle rod, or reattach it with superglue, or.. maybe heating it up with a hairdryer and bend it back into place?

Just saying that it's not that big of an issue. However, ET could have done things differently, using stronger materials for example. Kinda ruined my enjoyment of the figure

Good luck with those!

Be careful, I actually don't know for sure if the ankle of my copy had problems from the beginning, because most of the "damage" came from me trying to free the foot. This happens with many ET products, the paint dries around plastic ball joints and you have to gently move and twist it until you free them. Right foot moved fine, but the left one almost made me break the ankle.

CFF: So today at Target I saw the electronic Voltron. This is the non-combiner version, and it is well proportioned. It also has faux scratches to simulate battle damage. Dec 26, 2016 22:41:04 GMT

CFF: At $36.99, the price was not bad. But with only 4 copies available which were roughly handled, and poor paint apps on the face and other small areas, I was a bit turned off and did not buy it. I might buy a copy later on as new stock becomes available... Dec 26, 2016 22:44:00 GMT

The Baron Weirwulf: Guys feels like I'm talking to myself lately we need more input guys please... board is getting slow..need this Forum for my mental health! Feb 1, 2017 0:36:24 GMT
